Now I am starting on the flowers at the bottom of the egg. First I am outlining the flower in the back stitch and then filling them in with the long and short stitch:
I am using two floss colors for each flower:
Now I need to fill in the flower centers and add all the decorative French knots!

Very nice! Beautiful colours! :)
Kim! Your Easter egg looks fantastic! I love the two-tone flower stitches. They look really really lovely!
You reminded me that I need to get my act together, finish my St. Patrick's Day stitches, so I can get to work on the Easter patterns I have waiting in the wings!
Have a great day!
the flowers are looking lovely, I like the graded colours in them x
Kim, I love the 3D effect of the bow with the color variation. Very nice!
The flowers at the bottom add just the right touch!
